--49 days.

--Well, all I have to say is, good thing it's not July, or we'd have quite an interesting story. I just hope that the cyclone doesn't destroy too much...they said the Great Barrier Reef was right in the path of the storm, but I'm no marine biologist, so I don't know if that would damage the reef at all, ya know? I hope not. For those of you not in the know, we're going to Australia for our honeymoon, making stops in Sydney, Alice Springs, Ayers Rock and Cairns. Cairns is being hammered by a cyclone (or hurricane, if you're not wise to the Pacific reference to a cyclone). I'm not worried, it just figures that they haven't had a hurricane in decades, I believe the story said. But, at least we're not there... :)

--Can I just say how unhappy I am with Target right now. We need a desk, so we were going to use our gift cards from Target and some money to get them. Kudos to Target for trying to ease the cost of carrying their entire supply of desks in stores to save money, and only offering them online, from a business standpoint. I can understand that, and I have no problem with it. But a big fuck you to them for not finding a way to ease shipping for its customers who choose to purchase things online and save them money. For a $99 desk, it costs $68 to ship. I understand it's a heavy thing and all that stuff, but you know what? Good customer service would be to take the money you're saving on having a customer buy the thing online and affirm your business decision and maybe work out a behind-the-scenes deal for shipping to ease the burden on your customers. So, basically, we don't know what we're going to do about this now...obviously, we'll figure it out, but it was a bit disappointing, I guess.

--I've gotten away from the 50 percent regret rate for the wedding, but overall, we're posting about a 30 percent regret rate, so we need more attend RSVPs, dammit! :)

--Otherwise, it's back to work tomorrow, and then off to Vegas on Tuesday through Friday for work (and, hopefully, some play on Thursday night--my buddy from PFW is going to be out there and plans to be at a sportsbook to watch the games--hopefully I'll get to join him and his friends!)...in other words, another hectic week ahead...but that's become the norm.
